The activity aims to ask the following questions: What is GPS? What is the
purpose of the GPS? How is GPS managed? How does the GPS work? What are the
components of the GPS? What are the capabilities of GPS?
As of research,
GPS is available in two basic forms: the standard positioning service (SPS), or
civilian signal, and the precise positioning service (PPS), or military signal. Prior to
2000 the U.S. military intentionally corrupted or degraded the SPS signal for
national security purposes by using a process known as Selective Availability. As a
result, the SPS signal was much less accurate than PPS. In May 2000 President Bill
Clinton announced that the military would stop Selective Availability. This increased
the accuracy and reliability of SPS by a factor of ten. Today, the military and civilian
GPS signals are believed to be of the same accuracy. For national security reasons
the Defense Department retained the ability to jam the SPS signal on a regional
basis if necessary. Both the SPS and the PPS signals provide a horizontal position
that is accurate to about 10 m (about 33 ft).
Several techniques have been developed to enhance the performance of
GPS. One technique, known as differential GPS (DGPS), employs two fixed stations
on Earth as well as satellites. DGPS provides a horizontal position accurate to about
3 m (about 10 ft). Another technique, known as WAAS, or Wide Area Augmentation
System, was developed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to improve the
safety of aircraft navigation. WAAS monitoring stations around the United States
catch GPS signals, correct errors, and send out more-accurate signals. A technique
involving the use of carrier frequency processing (see Carrier Wave), known as
survey grade GPS, was pioneered by surveyors to compute positions to within about
1 cm (about 0.4 in). SPS, DGPS, WAAS, and carrier techniques are accessible to all
users.
